This design is also suitable for elderly folk or those undergoing physical therapy, as it can be used in front of an armchair or sofa – perfect for those who are unable to prop themselves up on a conventional exercise bike. It’s said to be quiet and smooth, so you won’t bother your family members or office mates while stealing a workout at your seat.

One common problem many of us have in Singapore is that we never seem to have enough space at home. That doesn’t mean an exercise bike can’t fit into your living room layout, especially if it measures just 0.5sqm. 

The Xiaomi Yesoul M3 ($673) is a compact bike that doesn’t skimp on gym-worthy features, including a water bottle holder for you to hydrate while you’re in the zone. It comes with a 10.1-inch touch screen for you to monitor your workout stats, which includes free access to online spin classes in Mandarin. 

Resistance settings: Eight workout modes including fat burning, relaxing and music-themed.
